If it's interesting to you:

At the command prompt: 

/<#>mount /dev/hdd /MO
hdd: driver not present
hdd: driver not present
mount: Mounting /dev/hdd on /MO failed: No such device or address 

/<#>mount /dev/hdd0 /MO
mount: Mounting /dev/hdd0 on /MO failed: No such device or address 

/<#>mount /dev/hdd1 /MO
hdd: driver not present
hdd: driver not present
mount: Mounting /dev/hdd1 on /MO failed: No such device or address 


Then I tried the following kernel:
'ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/slackware/slackware-7.1/kernels/bare.i/bzimag 
e'.
Doesn't help (just produces more 'hdd: driver not present' messages). 

Occasionally I spotted a module:
'ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/slackware/slackware-7.1/modules/2.2.16/block/ 
ide-mod.o'.
Is it the driver?  Should I reassemble the kernel (which one?) with this 
file?
(Supply the instructions, please ...) 

Finally, I wrote a driver request message to mo AT fujitsu.com ...
